I went with my dad to pick up my sister from Manchester airport last night and I had to laugh whilst waiting in the arrivals lounge – there must of been at least half a dozen people bandaged up with either sprains, or broken bones coming off the various flights.
It made me wonder how many Britons have come back from their holiday with sprained body parts and broken bones each summer.
Speaking to my sis about it on the way home she told me that two of the people all bandaged up were from the same hotel complex because they thought it would be good fun to jump from their balcony into the pool.
I hope they took out travel insurance.

UK tourists are, er, notorious for their silly behaviour overseas.

Ah yes Prague is a problem, with beer at 0.39 pence a pint!
Latvia will be next when the Brits have ruined Prague.

” Jump from their Balcony into the Pool,” They deserved to be wrapped up in a Wooden Box, not Bandages!!

Nope, no Joke Rohan.
Thinking back 10 years I remember something similar happening in our apartment complex in Tenerife. Alcohol makes people go mad and loose their head, that’s why I usually stay off it whilst I’m on holiday.
